chickenbugg: Best of luck to you and keep me posted on your progress. I will do the same.

You want believe how much better you will feel. I think when we are overweight for so long we don't

even realize how much our body hurts. I was on major narcotics just to be able to walk and get to

work. I had congestive heart failure, chronic back and leg pain. Now, with so much weight gone, eventhough I have had a hard time, I am a different person. I am off almost all of my medicine and havevery little join pain. Take care and good luck to you.

I am also extremely excited, anxious, nervous, scared, etc.....but very much looking forward to the changes. Edavidson I'm sorry to hear this has been such a tremendous "ordeal" for you. I'm glad you can see the positive and it's great that you are reminding all of us that what we expect is not always what we get. I hope things are better for you sooner rather than later.

chickenbugg I am one of the fortunate obese people that doesn't have comorbidities with my weight. I'm very lucky in that respect especially considering my father and my sister have a plethora of health issues. I'm looking forward to not dealing with the constant pain in my hips, knees and feet.

Fortunately 99.9 percent of all surgeries go without incident. I am so happy for those who are

about to have their surgeries. The difference in the way you feel is so dramatic that you wish you

had done something sooner. I am 61 years old and have been overweight all of my childhood and adult life. For the first time I can see my feet while standing up straight. Even though I have had a

rough four months, I am not sorry. My PCP is trying very hard to get me back on my feet and she is

always reminding me of what I have accomplished. If you hit a snag after surgery, rise above it. Be

strong and keep a positive attitude. Like my beautiful daughter is always telling me, "it is what it

is" mom. This too shall pass and you will be a stronger person for seeing it through.

I'm scheduled 4/23, anyone else going to Mexico? I'll be with Dr. Rodriguez.

Just had my surgery with Dr Rodrigues on April 11th in Juarez. He and his team are amazing. Only thing is that the nursing staff does not speak a lot of English so if you download a translator app on your phone it makes it a lot easier to communicate. I'm only a few days post op and feeling great.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
